6 teams that are likely to qualify for the ICC WT20 2020

2 – U.A.E.

EXPECTED POSITION:

TOP 3

Players to watch out for:

1. Rohan Mustafa
2. Sultan Ahmed
3. Rameez Shahzad

SURPRISING EXCLUSION:

1. Amir Hayat

POSITIVES:

Consistency of Ashfaq Ahmed’s aggressive performances as an opener and the emergence of Sultan Ahmed

NEGATIVES:

Hit by a major scandal which has led to 2 of their most important players being banned

WHAT CAN THEY DO STRATEGICALLY TO BE MORE EFFECTIVE?

Allow Rohan Mustafa to open as he used to in the past and let Rameez Shahzad bat at 3

Open the bowling with Mustafa alongside Zahoor/Sultan Ahmed as Mustafa’s flatter trajectory and his vast experience on such pitches could do some early damage
